Flu-enforced Break

After many weeks of burning the midnight oil, my body has sent me a clear message:

Take a break!

It's a minor case of the flu, standard symptoms, and I am getting over it rapidly thanks to daily walks, cool showers, and plenty of naps.

I expect to return to my 16-pomodoro-per-day schedule by the end of the week at the latest.  My plan is to split my time between solving coding challenges, studying Ruby, and studying Rails.

Minor Surgery Today

Going in for surgery today.

I will shortly go to an endodontic clinic (specialist dentist -- I learned about it only recently) for an operation under local anaesthetic.  The 'root' cause of my problem is a traffic accident I suffered as a teenager.  Seventeen years on, in spite of excellent dental care and oral hygiene, I need surgery to eradicate the problem.

I hope to return to my coding work later today, but I suspect I'll have to take it easy for the rest of today, much though I'd like to keep on working hard.

Wish me luck.
